POC doc88.com Downloader
This is a POC downloader of documents from doc88.com. It saves pages of a given document as PNGs or JPEGs. It doesn't have any dependencies — it's a bit of JavaScript that you paste into Developer Tools' Console. It was tested in Chrome and Firefox.
The download procedure is a bit of a PITA, but hey… it's a POC.
